It’s zucchini season in the garden! With so many coming off the plant, I have been trying to get creative with uses for the zucchini so that we don’t get tired of it.  Whether it’s been roasted zucchini, zucchini cornbread casserole, adding zucchini to stir frys, or even using it as zoodles, I’ve tried it.  My very favorite way to use zucchini has definitely been making zucchini bread with it.

Homemade Zucchini Bread

Whether you get fancy with your zucchini bread and you add nuts, bananas, streusel, lemon, blueberries, etc, it is always tasty.  Personally, my favorite way is to just have it plain with a bit of butter or even a bit of blueberry jam on top.  I love just having the flavor of the spices come through but that being said, feel free to experiment and make it your own!

Yes.  To freeze grated zucchini –

  • Transfer it to a freezer-safe plastic bag.
  • Remove as much air as you can.
  • Close the bag up and store for up to 8 months.

  1. Bake the bread and let it fully cool.
